[2002] EWHC 1036 (QB)

Where a corporate body such as a local authority failed to renew its registration under the Data Protection Act 1984 notwithstanding reminders to do so, it could reasonably be inferred that the body was aware of its omission so that its continued holding and use of personal data "knowingly" or "recklessly" contravened s.5 of the Act.
